Days have never seemed to have lasted so long . Only got 3 more days to wait the garage is to busy to get the service done sooner
The cars only has delivery miles on the clock even though its 10 months old do you have to allow the engine to run in before pushing it at high revs like normal engines

Thanks for the replies so far

Yes... read your owners manual, most people wait until 2000 miles to redline. Again welcome to the club!

i imagine it'd feel a lil weird shifting with my left hand. haha.

but i'd take one too.

btw, the e-brake was made for that side, so there shouldn't be any problem. they just didn't switch it over for us lhd. i find passengers always resting their leg up against the handle... quite annoying sometimes.

Welcome and congratulations! 9K RPM FTW!!!

I would check out www.racingbeat.com to read up on a good breakin procedure and their recommendations for rotary engine maintenance and performance. Racing Beat knows what they are talking about.
